Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular coiling and microsurgical clipping for ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Methods Patients w ith ruptured intracranial aneurysm treated w ith endovascular coiling or microsurgical clipping w ere enrol ed retrospectively. The demography, baseline clinical data, outcome, and complications in patients received endovascular coiling and microsurgical clipping w ere compared. Results A total of 85 patients w ith ruptured intracranial aneurysm were enroled, including 40 were treated with microsurgical clipping (surgical clipping group) and 45 were treated w ith endovascular coiling (endovascular coiling group). There w ere no significant differences in the proportions of the patients in male (37.5%vs.40.0%; χ2 =0.056, P=0.813), hypertension (30.0%vs. 33.3%; χ2 =0.109, P=0.742 ), smoking ( 50.0%vs.48.9%; χ2 =0.010, P=0.918 ), drinking (45.0%vs.46.7%; χ2 =0.024, P=0.878), aneurysm site (anterior communicating artery: 50.0%vs. 48.9%;posterior communicating artery:35.0%vs.33.3%; middle cerebral artery:10.0 %vs.11.1%;vertebral artery: 5.0%vs.6.7%; al P>0.05), aneurysm maximum diameter < 10 mm (80.0%vs. 77.8%;χ2 =0.063, P=0.802), Hunt-Hess grade 1-2 (55.0%vs.57.8%; χ2 =0.066, P=0.797), Fisher grade 1-2 ( 60.0%vs.57.8%; χ2 =0.043, P=0.835 ), and time from onset to treatment < 72 h (62.5%vs.64.4%; χ2 =0.035, P=0.853) in the surgical clipping group and endovascular coiling group. There w ere no significant differences in the complete occlusion rate of aneurysms ( 97.5%vs.91.1%;P=0.364) and the good outcome rate (65.0%vs.68.9%; χ2 =0.145, P=0.703) betw een the surgical clipping group and the endovascular coiling group. No patients died in the surgical clipping group and 1 patient died in the endovascular coiling group, and there w as no significant difference ( P=1.000). One patient (2.5%) had cerebral infarction in the surgical clipping group and no patients had cerebral infarction in the endovascular coiling group, and there w as no significant difference ( P=0.471). Conclusions The efficacy and safety of microsurgical clipping are the same as those of endovascular coiling for ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Objective To compare the efficacy, complications, safety and prognosis of the minimally invasive puncture approach and key hole in the treatment of hypertensive cerebral hematoma.Methods A totol of 68 patients with hypertensive cerebral hematoma confirmed by CT from April 2012 to October 2013 in Nongken Sanya Hospital were randomly divided into key hole evacuation group(n=32) and minimally invasive puncture group (n =36).Comparisons were made between the two surgical methods in the operative time, postoperative complications, the fatality and the postoperative re-haemorrhagia rate, neurological function deficit score also been observed and evaluated in the 1 st,2nd and 4th weeks after surgery.Results The NFDS scores of the two groups both decreased in the 1st week after surgery,but compare with preoperative the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).In the 2nd weeks and 4th weeks after surgery, NFDS scores further decreased in both group,and there was statistically significant compare with preoperative(the key hole evacuation group : (26.2±4.5) vs.(17.8 ± 3.6) vs.(44.1 ± 5.4) scores;the minimally invasive puncture group: (22.1 ± ±3.7) vs.(15.4±2.8) vs.(43.9±6.2)scores;P<0.05) ,but during the same period there was no significant difference between the two groups with NFDS scores(P>0.05).The rebleeding rate of the minimally invasive puncture group was significantly lower than the key hole evacuation group (4.08% vs.16.33%, x2=6.56, P<0.05).There was no significant difference in mortality rate and long term total effect between two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Although both key hole and minimally invasive puncture are effective measures for treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, but minimally invasive puncture with less trauma, definite curative effect and higher security advantages in clinical.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors, prevention and treatment strategy of short-term poor prognosis of continuous lumbar cistern external drainage after aneurysms subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).Methods:Used retrospective research method, the clinical data of 300 patients with aSAH combined with continuous lumbar cistern external drainage treated in Sanya Central Hospital (Hainan Third People′s Hospital) from March 2019 to March 2021 were selected as the training set. In addition, the clinical data of 144 patients with aSAH with continuous lumbar cistern external drainage treated in Sanya Central Hospital (Hainan Third People′s Hospital) from March 2017 to May 2019 were selected as the verification set. According to the results of postoperative follow-up, the patients in the training set were divided into two groups: good prognosis group ( n=208) and poor prognosis group ( n=92). The demographic characteristics, past history, Hunt-Hess grade, modified Fisher grade, location of responsible aneurysm, postoperative complications, bone flap decompression and lumbar cistern drainage were compared between the two groups. The independent risk factors for prognosis of aSAH patients undergoing continuous lumbar cistern external drainage were screened by Cox proportional hazard regression model, and these factors were included and XGboost model was established. The prediction model was validated internally and externally in the training set and verification set: AUROC(C-index) was used to verify the model differentiation; GiViTI calibration band and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to verify the model calibration; DCA curve was used to verify the clinical validity of the model. Results:Hunt-Hess grade, modified Fisher grade, drainage duration, average daily drainage volume, shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, aneurysm rebleeding, cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with aSAH who underwent continuous lumbar cistern external drainage( P<0.05). The XGboost model was successfully established by incorporating the above independent risk factors, and the internal and external verification of the XGboost model was carried out in the training set and verification set, respectively, the area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic was 0.882(95% CI: 0.820-0.955) and 0.878(95% CI: 0.774-0.928) respectively, and the model differentiation was good; the 80%-90% confidence interval of the GiViTI calibration curve did not cross the 45° angle bisector ( P>0.05). In the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, the P value were 0.581 and 0.716, respectively. The threshold probability value in the DCA curve was 30.4%. The clinical net benefit rate of the training set and verification set were 31% and 34%, respectively, indicating that the prediction model was clinically effective. Conclusions:The independent risk factors for poor prognosis of aSAH patients undergoing continuous lumbar cistern drainage are Hunt-Hess grade, modified Fisher grade, cerebral vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia and shunt-dependent hydrocephalus. The XGboost model constructed in this study can effectively predict the prognosis of patients with aSAH undergoing continuous lumbar cistern drainage, and provide reference for the formulation of follow-up treatment plans.
